New World Eden : the promise of America in late Jacksonian politics --
"Clear the way for Henry Clay" --
"To save the district for the Whigs" --
"Nauvoo is no place for rational people" --
The third party --
"Missourians seem determined not to let us alone" --
The candidate --
Thy kingdom come --
in Texas --
Two conventions --
What will be the end of things? --
Retributive justice --
Gentlemen of undoubted veracity --
Carthage --
Distance lent enchantment to the view --
The kingdom delayed --
"Bound by common guilt and danger to commit almost any act to save them from infamy" --
Wolf hunts --
The campaign continues --
"To avenge the blood that stains the walls of Carthage jail" --
How wide the conspiracy?
